Newport Beach Getaway Information

Nestled between Los Angeles and San Diego, Newport Beach vacation rentals are the perfect way to enjoy the southern California Pacific. It should be no surprise that the daytime summer average temperature is 80 degrees, and that even in the winter it never gets below 50. But though California weather is well-known for being moderate and enjoyable, you may not realize that Newport Beach is adjacent to an airport and is only 15 miles away from the Disneyland Resort: John Wayne Airport offers 11 commercial carriers and 3 commuter airlines, and is centrally located in Orange County, bordering a great hotel district. And Newport Beach is the perfect place to stay if you plan on visiting Disneyland, world-famous for Main Street, U.S.A., Adventureland, Fantasyland, and Tomorrowland.

Newport Beach is home to Newport Harbor, known as one of the best small and pleasure-boat harbors in the world. With over 9,000 vessels, visitors are encouraged to take advantage of the boat rentals and yacht charters available. And why not? Since almost half of Newport Beach's area is on the water, you will have plenty of space to enjoy all those great ocean activities like swimming and surfing. For more outdoors fun, check out the Back Bay, an expansive ecological reserve which is home to abundant wildlife and has great trails for bikers and hikers. For a good time indoors, however, make sure to check out the Orange County Museum of Art, which is host to a number of modern artists. You'll also be able to visit the Mediterranean-style Fashion Island and other great shopping destinations which are eclectic and range from affordable to world-class.
